HYPNOTHERAPY IS NOT

	HYPNOTHERAPY IS NOT...

	Hypnotherapy is not magic. It is not mind control either. You will not cluck like a chicken, or do anything under hypnosis that you would not be comfortable doing while fully awake. Many people do not completely understand what hypnosis is, due in large part to the public perception of stage hypnotists seen in nightclubs and on cruise ships. It should be kept in mind these entertainers carefully screen their subjects for traits of latent exhibitionism. Often this is enhanced by the consumption of alcohol in these venues. Hypnotherapy will not cause you to give up control of yourself, or be under the spell of the therapist. No hypnotherapist will be able to implant inappropriate suggestions against your will. Nor will you be forced to divulge anything that you are not comfortable sharing with your therapist. In fact, you will not be able to be hypnotized at all without your complete and willing agreement.
